It is one of the great honors of my life to have the honorary Knight of the British Empire conferred on me by Queen Elizabeth II before she passed. I have great affection for the people of the UK & have always appreciated and been inspired by their extraordinary contributions.
Bob also congratulated Star Wars composer John Williams for receiving his knighthood for services to film music as well.
